Sandstone Patterns

I love summer! It's a great time of year and I love going out and taking hikes, riding my bike, or just take a walk. Of course, summer has to come to a close, but it'll be back next year. Summer always reminds me of my hometown and I created an abstract image that I think looks like the patterns that show up in Sandstone. I actually took the full size image of a Sig I created a while ago of a dragon from the game Starcraft. With that image, I distorted it until you see the new image called Sandstone Patterns.


I used my classic effects such as Radial Blur, Polar Inversion, Glass Vignette, and Radial Extruder to get the effects that I wanted. I then used a few blend modes such as Multiply, Glow, and Color Dodge. I then merged the entire image and did a few more distortions, but I didn't like it as much since it covered up some of the different patterns I initially saw, so I took it out. I hope you all enjoy and I'll be back with another image soon.

Stone Head

Awesome artworks as always Julio! Here is something I am working on: The head was made in a program called: Sculptris, the stone texture was made in Paint.Net, and the moss was made in Photoshop (but I added it to the head in PDN). I still dont like the moss... I need to change something, and I still need to make a background. So this is still very much a WIP (work in progress), but I thought I would share it with you all.

Left Behind

Wow, I haven't posted here for a long time, and I started this blog too!!! That's sad, but oh well, never fear, here is one of my newest space scapes!! I made it for the SAC (Space Art Competition), and I got 3rd place! Not too bad for doing this for the first time!!! I really enjoyed this competition and I think that I've learned a lot from it!! Everything in the picture was made on Paint.NET except for the bigger ship. Pretty cool, and no, I didn't make the award, haha. I hope to get better and get first place on the next competition! I hope you liked the picture that I made as much as I enjoyed making it!! Feel free to comment as usual!

Fractal

We will miss you Julio! I have been working increasingly with Apophysis 7x, and this is my best attempt so far. It takes my computer for ever (about 5 hours) to render a single good quality fractal... The colors were heavily manipulated with Paint.Net.
